Theory of agency, harm, property, and repair

Protected Conditions

A theory of the relations and conditions through which meaningful agency is sustained.

Read the status before treating a working document as final. Each overview states purpose, limits, and relationship to the larger body of work.

Central claim

Choice and responsibility become meaningful only where the conditions that sustain agency—interior, bodily, sustaining, and recognized—are protected and repairable.

Use this work when

Use the framework to examine how breaches become durable records, missing records, deadlines, or institutional artifacts that return as evidence against the harmed person or relation.

Boundary and status

The framework maps structures of harm and repair; it does not automatically decide contested cases or replace domain-specific evidence and law.
